. IMPROVEMENT IN PEN-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,802ydated October 1, 1872.

' To all whom it Ma concern:

Be it known that I,.CHARLES T. WIDSTRAND, of the city and county of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pen-Holders; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,'and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making apart of this specification:

It is a well-known fact that many gold pens are made in which the bodyof the pen is too wide to admit of its being drawn inside of the usual sliding holder, and the special object of my invention is toprovide a holder in which I in position to be used; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view representing the holder open; like letters representing like parts in all the figures.

A A' represent the two parts of the holder;

B the Socket in which the pen is placed. The

rear end of the socket is hinged to the holder at G, as shown in Fig. 2. The upper portion of the holder is enlarged to admit of the inclosing of the pen. When it is desired to carry the pen in the pocket the socket is folded back by turning on its hinge 0 within the holder, and the two parts of the holder are then brought together and held by means of a Spring, or any wellknown device which will accomplish the object. The hinge O is represented as being placed in connection with the hinge of the holder; but, should it be desirable, it may be placed on either of the two parts'of the holder. If thought desirable, when the socket-hinge is placed on the inside of one part of the holder, the two parts of the holder may be hinged only at their upper ends, and can then inclose the pen in the same manner.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

A pen-holder, hinged to a hollow handle,

made of two parts hinged together, and closed to hold the pen within the case, and projecting from its end, substantially as herein Shown and described.
